Energy and environment tipsHere you can find tips on how to save energy when baking and roasting and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy■ Preheat the oven only if this is required by a recipe or is

indicated in the tables.

■ Use dark, lacquered or black enamel baking tins. These are more efficient at absorbing heat.

■ Keep the oven door closed during cooking, baking and roasting cycles.

■ When baking several cakes, these should be preferably baked one after the other. The oven will still be hot, thereby reducing the cooking time for the second cake. Two rectangular baking tins can be placed side-by-side.

■ For long cooking times, the oven may be turned off 10 minutes prior to the specified time, allowing the item to continue to cook but taking advantage of the oven's residual heat.

Environmentally-friendly disposalDispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Tested for you in our cooking studioHere you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for them. We will show you which type of heating and which temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find information about suitable accessories and the height at which they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware and preparation methods.

Notes■ The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the

cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof paper until after they have been preheated.

■ The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will depend on the quality and composition of the food.

■ Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or from the after-sales service.Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories and ovenware from the cooking compartment.

■ Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Cakes and pastriesBaking on one levelThe best results are obtained with the upper and lower heat % when baking cakes.

When baking using the hot air function 2, the following levels are recommended for the accessories:

■ Cakes in moulds: level 2

■ Cakes on the tray: level 3

Baking at different levelsUsing the hot air mode 2.

Baking on two levels:

■ Enamel baking tray: level 3

■ Aluminium tray: level 1

Trays put in the oven at the same time are not necessarily ready at the same time.

The tables contain a number of tips for each dish.

If 3 rectangular moulds are used at the same time, place on the shelf as shown in the picture.

Baking tinsIt is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.

Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not brown so evenly.

If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of mixture and recipe instructions may differ.

TablesThe table shows the optimum heating methods for each type of cake or dessert. The temperature and cooking time will depend on the amount and the consistency of the dough. For this reason the cooking tables always provide approximate cooking times. Always begin by trying the lowest value. The items will be more evenly browned at a lower temperature. If necessary, this can be increased next time.

If the oven is preheated, cooking times are reduced by 5 to 10 minutes.

Additional information is provided in the Tips for baking section as an appendix to the tables.

To bake a cake only on one level, place the mould on the enamel tray.

When baking several cakes at the same time, the moulds can be placed together on the wire shelf.

If you want to use your own recipe. You can use a similar product to the one listed in the cooking table.

How to check whether your sponge cake is ready.

Ten minutes before the end of the cooking time indicated in the recipe, test the thickest part of the cake with a thin wooden skewer. The cake is ready when the skewer comes out clean, with no traces of cake mix left on the skewer.

The cake is too flat. Next time, try using less liquid or reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees. Ensure you mix the batter according to the times given in the recipe.

The cake has a peaked centre, but the edges have shrunken.

Do not grease the tin. Once the cake is ready, use a knife to carefully remove it from the tin.

If the cake is too brown on top. Position the cake lower in the oven, reduce the oven temperature and bake it for longer.

The cake is too dry. Use a skewer to make small holes in the finished cake. Pour a few drops of fruit juice or alcohol over the cake. Next time, increase the oven temperature by 10 degrees and reduce the cooking time.

The bread or cake (fruit cake, for example) looks fine on the outside but still has soft (soggy) areas inside.

Next time, use less liquid and leave the product for a little longer in the oven, at a lower temperature. The bases of cakes with juicy toppings should be baked first on their own. Then sprinkle chopped almonds or breadcrumbs on the base before adding the topping. Follow the recipe and observe the cooking times.

Biscuits are not evenly browned. Select a lower temperature; the biscuits will be browned more uniformly. Bake more delicate pastries with top and bottom heating % on one level. Overhang-ing greaseproof paper may also affect air circulation. Always trim it to fit the bak-ing tray.

Fruit cake is uncooked at the bottom. Next time, put the cake on a lower level.

Juice from the fruit oozes out. Next time, use the universal tray if available.

Small pastries made with yeast may stick together during baking.

Leave a space of about 2 cm between them. Then they will have enough space to rise and brown on all sides.

Meat, poultry, fishCookwareAny heatproof cookware can be used. For large roasts, the enamel tray can also be used.

It is best to use glass containers. Check that the lid of the cookware will fit and close properly.

If using enamel containers, add more liquid.

When using stainless steel pans, the meat does not brown well and may even be left rare. If so, lengthen the cooking time.

Data shown in tables: Uncovered cookware = open Covered cookware = closed

Always place cookware in the centre of the wire shelf.

Hot glass cookware should be placed on a dry dishcloth. The glass could shatter if rested on a wet or cold surface.

RoastingAdd in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. ½ cm of liquid.

Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the ovenware with approx. 1 - 2 cm of liquid.

The amount of liquid depends on the type of meat and the material the ovenware is made of. If preparing meat in an enamelled roasting dish, it will need a little more liquid than if cooked in glass ovenware.

Roasting dishes made from stainless steel are not ideal. The meat cooks more slowly and browns less fully. Use a higher temperature and/or a longer cooking time.

GrillingAlways use the grill with the oven closed.

For grilling, preheat the oven for about 3 minutes before the food is placed inside the oven.

Place the pieces directly on the wire shelf. If only one piece is prepared, it is best if placed in the centre of the wire shelf.

Place the enamel tray at level 1. The tray will help keep the oven clean by catching any meat juices.

Do not place the baking tray or universal tray at level 4 or 5. Due to the extreme heat, it could be deformed and cause damage to the oven interior when it is removed.

In so far as it is possible, use pieces of the same thickness. This will help them brown evenly and remain juicy. Salt the fillets after grilling.

Turn the pieces after Z the time has elapsed.

The grill resistance switches on and off automatically. This is normal. The frequency depends on the chosen power level.

MeatTurn pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time.

When the roast is ready, turn off the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes. This allows better distribution of the meat juices.

After cooking, wrap sirloin in aluminium foil and leave it to rest for 10 minutes in the oven.

For roast pork with a rind, score the rind in a crossways pattern, then lay the roast in the dish with the rind at the bottom.

Products have been baked on different levels. Biscuits on the upper tray are darker than those on the lower tray.

Always use the hot air function 2 when baking products on different levels. Although several baking trays may be placed in the oven at the same time, this does not mean that they will necessarily all be ready at the same time.

Baking moist cakes produces condensation. Condensation may form when baking. Some of this moisture may evaporate via the door handle, and drops of condensation may form on the control panel or on the front of nearby kitchen units. The oven is physically designed with this in mind.

PoultryThe weights of the table are for unstuffed birds ready to roast.

Place whole birds on the wire shelf initially with the breast side down. Turn once after Z the estimated time.

Turn pieces of meat such as turkey pieces or turkey breasts over after half the cooking time has elapsed. Turn the pieces of poultry after Z the time has elapsed.

If cooking duck or goose, prick the skin below the wings to release the fat.

The birds can be made brown and crunchy if they are smeared with butter, brine or orange juice more or less at the end of cooking time.

If grilling directly on the shelf, place the enamel tray on level 1.

FishTurn the fish pieces after Z the time has elapsed.

Whole fish do not need to be turned over. Bake whole fish in swimming position with the dorsal fin up. So that the fish remains stable, place a cut potato or a small container suitable for baking into the abdomen of the fish.

To cook fish fillets, add a few tablespoons of liquid when cooking.

If grilling directly on the shelf, place the enamel tray on level 1.

How to tell when the roast is ready. Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry out a “spoon test”. Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it needs to be cooked for a little longer.

The roast is too dark and the crackling is partly burnt.

Check the shelf height and temperature.

The roast looks good but the juices are burnt.

Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.

The roast looks good but the juices are too clear and watery.

Next time, use a larger roasting dish and use less liquid.

Steam rises from the roast when basted. This is normal and due to the laws of physics. The majority of the steam escapes through the steam outlet. It may settle and form condensation on the cooler switch panel or on the fronts of adjacent units.

Gratins, soufflés, browned itemsPlace the cookware on the wire shelf.

To roast directly on the wire shelf without containers, insert the enameled tray at height 1. This will keep the oven cleaner.

The result of a gratin depends on the size of the dish and gratin height. The data shown in the table are only given as a guide.

Ready-made productsRead and note the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

When covering accessories with baking paper, ensure that the paper is suitable for high temperatures. Cut the paper to the size of dish to be prepared.

The result depends directly on the type of food. There may be irregularities and colour differences in the raw products.

Note: The baking tray may deform when frozen foods are being defrosted. This is due to the accessories being subjected to different temperatures. The deformation will disappear while baking.

Special dishesAt low temperatures, a good creamy yoghurt and a spongy yeast dough can be obtained.

First remove accessories and wire shelves or left and right-hand side rails from inside the oven.

Making yoghurt

1. Boil 1 litre of milk (3.5 % fat) and allow it to cool to about 40 °C.

2. Mix 150 g of yoghurt (at fridge temperature).

3. Pour the mixture into jars or bowls and cover them with transparent film.

4. Preheat the oven as instructed.

5. Now, place the bowls or jars on the bottom of the oven and prepare as follows.

Leaving yeast dough to rise

1. Prepare the yeast dough as usual. Pour the dough into a heat-resistant ceramic baking dish and cover it.

2. Preheat the oven as instructed.

3. Turn off the appliance and allow the dough to rise inside the oven.

Remove frozen food from the container and place in appropriate cookware on the wire shelf.

Place the bird on a dish with the breast facing down.

DryingUse only quality fruit and vegetables and wash thoroughly.

Allow to drain and dry completely.

Cover the enamel tray and the wire shelf with special baking parchment or greaseproof paper.

Turn the fruit or vegetables from time to time.

When they are golden, dry them and remove from the paper.

Jam makingFor cooking, the jars and the elastic bands must be clean and in perfect condition. Whenever possible, use jars of equal sizes. The values in the tables are given for round 1-Litre jars.

Caution!Do not use larger or taller jars. Their lids could explode.

Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good condition. Clean them well.

The times given in tables are only given as an indication. These can vary according to the outside temperature, number of jars, quantity and temperature of the jar content. Before turning off the appliance, ensure the jars have begun to bubble.

Preparation

1. Tip the fruit or vegetable into the jars but do not fill them to the brim.

2. Clean the edges of the jars; these must be clean.

3. Place a cover and wet elastic band on each jar.

4. Close the jars with clamps.

Do not place more than six jars in the oven at the same time.

Setting

1. Place the enamel tray at level 2. Place the jars on the tray so that they do not touch each other.

2. Pour half a litre of hot water (approx. 80 ºC) on the flat oven tray.

3. Close the oven door.

4. Position the control knob to bottom heat position $.

5. Set the temperature between 170 and 180 ºC.

Jam makingAfter approximately 40 - 50 minutes, bubbles begin to form rapidly. Switch the oven off

Take the jars out of the oven after approximately 25 - 35 minutes (the residual heat is used in this time). If these are allowed to cool in the oven for more time, this could promote the formation of germs making the jam acidic.
